Speaking Through Trouble. Episode 1: JAIL SOLIDARITY with Céline Lebrun-Shaath
Speaking Through Trouble — Series Introduction
Speaking Through My World has joined forces with the powerful TROUBLEMAKERS podcast, a global space that celebrates creative resistance, radical imagination, and unapologetic truth-telling.
Together, we’re diving deep into the tools, tactics, and principles of nonviolent activism. From poetic protest to strategic disruption, TROUBLEMAKERS dares to explore what it means to rebel in a world where power is held by too few.
Birthed by the brilliant minds at Beautiful Trouble, this transcontinental podcast brings together rebels, healers, artists, and organisers who are transforming the world through bold, intentional action.
Episode: JAIL SOLIDARITY with Céline Lebrun-Shaath
What does solidarity look like when comrades are behind bars?
In this episode, we explore jail solidarity through the eyes of Céline Lebrun-Shaath, a committed internationalist and organiser. Céline speaks on the moral and political imperative of standing with those imprisoned, not just advocating for their freedom, but carrying forward the movements they helped build.
She shares her own experience of abduction and deportation from Egypt, and the years-long campaign for the release of her husband, Ramy Shaath.
This episode also spotlights the ongoing campaign to free Alaa Abdel Fattah, a renowned Egyptian activist who remains unjustly detained. His mother has been on hunger strike for over five months.
Follow the Free Alaa campaign for updates and action steps.
Céline challenges us to see imprisonment not as an endpoint, but as a call to action. A demand to carry the torch of resistance forward.
